Setting up a dining mechanic in MADHOUSE has been on my list for a while now, and I'm finally getting around to it! You'll be able to level up your health, stamina, and spirit attributes by ordering food in the diner! #indiegame #solodev #pixelart #MADHOUSE

Looks like we can't go this way yet following an incident involving an explosion on the west highway bridge...

The next update of MADHOUSE will allow the player to choose between two modes when starting a New Game in the Story campaign: UNCUT or TAMED. Tamed will tone down some of the game's more extreme content for players that want to enjoy the game without offensive language & themes. #indiedev

If you bought MADHOUSE and are having fun with it, please consider giving me a review on Steam! I understand that reviews help with the algorithm and I'd appreciate it greatly 🎃
Additionally, don't miss the 2-4P Versus mode; it's endless fun for you and friends on game night!

MADHOUSE had such an overwhelmingly positive reception at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo! Everyone that played it loved it, especially the little kids that kept coming back every day to play -- much to their parents' chagrin; "Don't you want to see what else is here?!"

Exhibiting MADHOUSE at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo has been a FANTASTIC experience with such an overwhelmingly positive reception. I don't even have words right now, I'm just stunned by how much people are enjoying my game. Thank you.

In the past week I've finished three(!) completely new interior spaces for the town in MADHOUSE. Here's the Training Dojo, where you can learn strafing, rolling, and charged attacks. Had a lot of fun working on this and it ended up being one of the more detailed environments!

In MADHOUSE, there are a few Ultimate Weapons that only unlock from gold chests when you or your team are in last place... The Airstrike Call is one of my favorites, and here a player demonstrates how quickly it can turn the tables...

Developing MADHOUSE, I see so many of these childhood ideas coming to life and it's like a fulfillment of a dream I've had always had. Game design is the only thing I've ever loved enough to commit my whole life to, and I'm glad that I can do it.
Thank you for playing my games.

The art improved slightly, but the concept remained central: blue dude with sword explores an endless world of imagination to destroy King Killer Kelps.
Even my later works, like UFO 50's Night Manor borrowed so much from this work without even being a conscious decision.

I continued to work on this throughout most of my childhood and into my teenage years. Any idea that interested me from any source of inspiration, be it a game, dream, or movie, would undoubtedly find its way into this growing body of work. Today it spans hundreds of pages.
